Business-Grade Modem Specifications:

AER3100/AER3150 LP6 models include an integrated LTE Advanced Category 6 4G LTE modem. The LP6 modems support SIM-Based Auto-Carrier selection so there is only one model for all of North America. Simply insert the SIM and wait for the router to automatically detect the SIM and establish a connection. The LTE bands certified for each carrier are listed below.

AER3100/AER3150 LP5 models include an integrated LTE Advanced Category 6 4G LTE modem, and support Asia Pacific and Saudi Arabia. The LP5 modems support SIM-Based Auto-Carrier selection. Simply insert the SIM and wait for the router to automatically detect the SIM and establish a connection.

AER3100/AER3150 models include an integrated 4G LTE Multi-Carrier Software-Defined radio modem (MC400); specific model names include a specific modem (e.g., the AER3100LPE-VZ includes an MC400LPE-VZ modem for Verizon). Please note that LPE models are flexible and support bands for multiple cellular providers; however, only the frequency bands in bold below are supported by the listed provider.
